The intrepid crime fighters on Reddit's Houston outpost are looking at a photo from Saturday night of a man stealing the employee tip jar from the Heights-area Jenni's Noodle House.

Saturday night close to closing time, a man walked in to the noodle restaurant on East 20th Street asking for a cup of water and began asking about noodle prices and looking at a menu. When an employee walked away for just a moment, the thief grabbed the tip jar and made a run for it.

Scott Weaver and his wife Jenni own the chain of three noodle houses. He's already made a police report.

"There needs to be a record of the theft so police resources can be sent to this area," said Weaver on Monday morning. "All crime is crime. This guy could be doing other robberies around the Heights too," he added.

All told, Weaver says the missing tip jar contained around $25, which doesn't seem like much, but to his employees it does mean something.

Jenni's in the Heights is no stranger to weird crime. Early last year the establishment's front window was smashed and $30 was stolen from the register, causing $1,000 in damage. The crime occurred overnight, so no employees or customers were in harm's way.

The footage of that suspect went viral, and the suspect, Frankie Stall, Jr., later turned himself in.
